Land of the LOST

Captain Sleestak

Sometimes a quick whip around the events of the day make you wonder if you may have been kidnapped and went through a worm hole.  This, of course, providing you are consuming news from most of the biased mainstream outlets.

If you seek the truth through alternative news media outlets who do not subscribe to he national narrative, when your eyes opened you may have thought you found yourself in the Land of the Lost being preached to by Captain Sleestak.

Among the stories you may have came across recently is a very troubling potential treaty called The Law of the Sea Treaty, or LOST.  The treaty, somewhat complicated considering the tentacles associated with it, is extremely ominous and could ultimately cause the demise of the sovereignty of the United States.

Investors Business Daily, a true leader in presenting the truth through their outstanding editorial page, reported the treaty establishes an International Seabed Authority with the power to regulate 70% of the earths surface.  Inclusive in the this would be ocean fishing, mining and deep sea oil and gas exploration at the minimum.  Military activities by the Navy and NASA could be negatively impacted as well.

As IBD Reported, Mike Browfield of The Heritage Foundation noted "One of the more nefarious and insidious of its provisions is Article 82, which requires the U.S. to forfeit royalties generated from oil and gas development on the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles — an area known as the 'extended continental shelf.'"

Dick Morris, who sounds the alarm on LOST in his new book Screwed, give us the horrid details in a lunch alert last Wednesday.  Take a listen:




Enemies from within, including many familiar names such as John Kerry, John McCain, Leon Panetta. Hillary Clinton and President Obama, are working to limit the sovereignty of the United States giving control mechanisms to the United Nations.

The LOST Treaty is one of many tentacles operating in this regard with the transformation of wealth the centerpiece of global governance.  Agenda 21 and Global Warming, a complete fraud, are utilized globally to transfer wealth, of mostly Americans, through taxation and regulation.  Green programs have extensive, and expensive, tentacles infiltrating American lives through governmental agencies like the EPA and the FDA.

The Responsibility to Protect is another avenue, allowing the UN to actively engage oppressive regimes in an effort to protect those they deem in danger.  Forget that the UN is usually an opponent of Uncle Sam in military initiatives, but the folks behind this effort are fierce opponents of Israel. Will they be on the wrong side should an Israel and Iranian altercation commence?  But does this extend beyond military operations?  Could those deemed polluters be targeted for compliance?

Jumping the shark could take us to governance over satellites in space, or food consumption and farming, or even population control perhaps subscribing to the one child policy of China.  Some very big names appear to be on board regarding population control globally in an effort to control global warming.

Our teleprompter in chief, an individual who thinks America has always been an oppressor, aims to transform our divinely inspired country, changing our traditions and history, robbing it of its exceptionalism. 

If we don't defeat these folks, Obama will fulfill the dream from his father by taking down Uncle Sam and placing the power and governance in the hands of the United Nations, an organization which could establish a worldwide socialist utopia Captain Sleestak and his arrogance could rule over for many moons to come.  The United States could become a land of the lost.

As IBD ever so accurately concluded,  LOST would be an incalculable loss of wealth and sovereignty. Those who wish to plunder our wealth and neuter our power should be told to get lost.

Black Jack Pershing

“Throughout America today, we honor the dead of our wars. We recall their valor and their sacrifices. We remember they gave their lives so that others might live.” – Ronald Reagan

On this Memorial Day, and every day, we honor all those that have put on the uniform, from John "Black Jack" Pershing to Captain Michael Scott Speicher to Navy SEAL Michael Murphy.

Lee Greenwood stopped by FOX & Friends this morning and sang his timeless American ballad God Bless The USA.

God Bless you all and God Bless America!

Unleash The Squirmin' Dogs

It seems as if we are watching an upcoming train wreck as the Euro experiment marches toward collapse.  A plethora of plans have been implemented to rescue the ambitious alliance, but all have been abysmal failures.  The more the plans fail, the more the planners plan.

Beyond member governments engaged in socialism spending beyond their means and expanding entitlements beyond economic logic, what is traveling to the ash heap of history is their loss of their member sovereignty. Central planners never want a crisis, and we sure do have one, to go to waste.

While economic moves considered sound to establish stability and save the Euro may sound reasonable, unfortunately they likely mask the bold ambitions of the technocrats to slow creep control over the member states and their citizens.

Under such control, individual freedom, inspiration and the entrepreneurial spirit is crushed, robbing the people of their identity. As Nigel Farage so eloquently put forth in 2010, if you rob the people of their democracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence.  We got plenty of violence, as the citizens engage in civil unrest.

Who the hell do you think you are? Farage queried the EU administrators as they responded to collapsing member nations that it would be inappropriate for them to hold elections until their budgets were agreed upon. Democracy destroyed.

Sound far fetched?  Last Thursday, CNBC reported that Ex-ECB Chief Jean-Claude Trichet unveiled a bold plan to save the Euro.  Would yet another new plan present a blueprint for an escape of the wide ranging spiral the Euro is involved in or would such a plan steal more Democracy from the member citizenry?

The first paragraph of the story is alarmingly informative.  Please read: 

Europe could strengthen its monetary union by giving European politicians the power to declare a sovereign state bankrupt and take over its fiscal policy, the former head of the European Central Bank said on Thursday in unveiling a bold proposal to salvage the euro.

For the governing body, seizing this amount of authority would be similar to taking a country over without firing a shot. 

As Farrage asked, who do these people think they are? Free market capitalism, the best path to prosperity, is not free to work for member nations under this type of smothering control. Under the Euro, wealth has been destroyed under massive spending and entitlement programs, and the technocratic banker is in charge and has members under his thumb.

It would be hard to imagine that the central planners, given the history of their efforts, are foolish enough to think it will work this time.  The alternative, and the truth, is that the technocrats are aspiring to gain further control and are knowingly crashing the system.

Here in America, the same types of planners are now in charge, implementing the Cloward and Piven strategy.  Decisions that seem irrational to most, are part of the plan to steal and transform wealth, establishing a governmental control over the citizenry.  While Europe may be beyond  salvage, America has time to right the ship, although time is running dangerously short.

Freeing member nations from excessive taxation and regulation and having to adhere to budgetary control and allowing the pursuit of their own prosperity is the answer.  Those who continue to implement a socialistic policy of a cradle to grave nanny state will ultimately fail. Countries who embrace freedom, both for individuals and markets, will prosper.

Alarm bells are appropriately ringing everywhere.  This is not the time to turn to technocratic regulators, like Jean-Cluade Trichet, who claim to have a plan.

This is the time to seek freedom and embrace capitalism. It is that simple.

Do You Know?

Glenn Beck has been leading the way in opposition to Barack Obama right from the beginning. Patriots all across the globe owe Beck a great deal of gratitude for his visions and bravery.

Contrary to the mainstream media, this opposition is not based on race or standard political differences.  The opposition stems from Obama being in opposition to the very principles our divinely inspired nation is based upon. Barack Obama is no Scoop Jackson. Obama, his history and his own words, paint a very disturbing picture, on a plethora of fronts, of exactly who this man is.

Do you know him? Do you know anyone like him? Beck has some questions for you:



After giving it some thought, do you have any friends that subscribe to any of these positions? I certainly do not.  Most Americans do not either, as each of the described positions are not reasonable given our founding principles.

Given that, how is Obama not behind by 30 points in election polls?  Or is he? Perhaps this demonstrates how powerful a media in the tank for him is, which indicates many Americans may not know exactly who they are dealing with and being asked to support.

It is most critical they find out. As the election approaches, we learn Mitt Romney will refrain from variance of the issues in opposition to Obama. Taking that stance, and reigning in Sarah Palin, worked quite well for John McCain in his inability to defeat an impostor with zero business and executive experience.

We take the opinion that knowledge is power, and we have always and will continue to present any and all pertinent information moving forward that comes across the transom from patriots like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin among others.

Banking Shakedowns Continuing

Investors Business Daily, with an editorial page second to none, editorialized last week on the subject of "local responsible banking ordinances", which unfortunately are sweeping the country.

After implementation, cities and local governments will require banks who wish to be considered for city or county contracts meet criteria with respect to low income and minority quotas for mortgage and small business lending. In addition, banks must provided detailed plans from banks on their goals in expansion in these areas, along with data associated with loan origination, raising costs and increasing privacy concerns.

Banks already provide much of this information to banking regulators, but local agencies consuming and housing this information, much of which is proprietary, is concerning.

As IBD correctly notes, the moves effectively turn local authorities into bank regulators along with the federal government, adding another layer of CRA enforcement and creating additional pressure on banks to make risky loans. Should the banks fail to meet standards set forth by the city and county agencies, they would be excluded from participating in the bidding process.

Governing.com reports "City leaders who advocate for the ordinances say they're trying to build upon the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), a 1977 law that ended that was designed to encourage banks to address the banking needs of low- and moderate-income Americans and reduce the practice of redlining".

However, it was the CRA that planted the seed for the current housing crisis that has crushed our economy.Banks were targeted, by groups like ACORN with a bevy of young attorneys to shakedown banks into lending to sub-prime borrowers for fear of being exposed as a potentially racist companies.In fact, President Obama, while working with ACORN decades ago, engaged in legal action against CitiBank.

While this may sound good at quick glance, closer examination shows something quite ominous.

These local responsible banking ordinances, an extension of CRA, will force the money center banks to lend based on standards set by those with the agenda of increasing lending to those who cannot qualify on their own merits, injecting governmental influence into privately held firms who have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, not the community.

While small banks will sit it out, making a sound financial decision to forgo the cost prohibitive regulatory burdens associated with compliance, it is the invisible hand of the marketplace that should be dictating who succeeds, not technocrats with political agendas.

The political motivation of this exercise at the end of the day is what we find at the end of most left wing tentacles extending exponentially these days; the global transformation of wealth. In fact, the implementation of achieving political gain under false premises of betterment of the local communities has sustainable development and Agenda 21 written all over it.

In virtually each case of government interjection into the events of the free market system, simple economic principles, such as caveat emptor, are violated and further limitations are placed on our freedom.In the case agencies implementing "local responsible banking ordinances" the result will create an environment of increased regulation, taxation and barriers to business, which ultimately raises costs.

You have to wonder when or if these technocrat central planners will ever learn. As Ronald Reagan said, the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan. The previous plans have failed miserably, and future plans will as well.

Poisonous Parting Gift of Sovereignty LOST

Dick Morris, FOX News contributor on tour for his newly released book, very appropriately titled Screwed, was a guest on Hannity the other night.  A line of topic usually reserved for Glenn Beck was given a specific segment, and you had better listen up closely.  Have at it:



Investors Business Daily, where you will find America's best editorial page, blasted the premise of tentacles surrendering sovereignty under various treaties which do nothing but provide vehicles facilitating the global transfer of wealth.  Our wealth.

While this sounds far fetched to those outside the loop, which is many our citizens who are busting their tails to provide for their families and have little time to decipher news outlets, it is alarmingly and increasingly true.

Please spend a moment reading our previous blog post on Agenda 21, which provides linkage to the evil that is associated with this movement, which centers around the loss of perhaps our most central tenant; property rights.

It was Glenn Beck that first alerted many of us of The Responsibility to Protect. Under this UN treaty, member nations have a set criteria to "push for strengthened capacities to prevent and halt genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity". 

Boy Howdy, does that sound good when you say it fast.

Glenn Beck, of course, places RP under closer examination.  Listen closely:



With the UN member nations deciding who the guilty parties are, who knows who may be in the cross hairs.  It is noted that the majority of these members are not fans of the United States, and under agreements like this, a vehicle to knock America down to the levels of other member nations under wealth transformation and social justice is engaged.

Therefore, I wonder if the UN might join a group of moonbat progressive democrats and idiots across the globe in a move to prosecute George W. Bush for war crimes? 

Dare I say that among the targets for crimes against humanity may be the loathed Israelis.  Samantha Power, wife of White House Obama Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs administrator Cass Sunstein, a the top architect of The Responsibility to Protect, is an individual who has been on record detailing her disdain for Israel. In addition, she has been described as  a woman determined  subordinate America’s national sovereignty

You think this is crazy?  It was just last week the UN felt compelled to weigh in and make demands that the sacred land housing Mount Rushmore be returned to the Native American tribes Uncle Sam stole it from.  Give them the wealth, says Obama green jobs Czar Van Jones!

For America to sign away of sovereignty through treaties with the UN giving them the upper hand in our federal court system is borderline treason in my mind. Operating under vehicles such as global warming, genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, the end game is ultimately the global transfer of wealth, because of the false premise that somehow America stole the wealth from these other countries and now supposedly oppresses them.

Climbing the crazy tree, given the distaste President Obama has for our American history and his goal to change our history and traditions and move us to a different place, I can imagine Obama relishing the opportunity to oversee change across the globe.  In future years, having set the table with the UN having jurisdiction in our federal court system, as Secretary General of United Nations, he may have left a poisonous parting gift as our President; the blueprint for the loss of the sovereignty of the United States of America.

Perhaps this is why Obama went on a global apology tour and appears to be friendly to our enemies and an enemy to our friends.  As the sun sets on the west, Obama in his arrogance seemingly aims to rule the world and bring America down to the levels of the rest of the world, presiding over his own global socialist utopia.

In his own mind, he was chosen to embark on this journey and the world lies in wait eager to follow his vision.  A vision that would lead America and world spiraling into decades of darkness.

Extreme Conditions

The Eurozone experiment, based upon fellowship and trade, has resulted in the loss of sovereignty and freedom for each of the members, and it must be broken apart. 

Not withstanding the economic doldrums brought about by socialism, participatory countries have lost the opportunity for economic adjustments because they are no longer in control of their budgets due to being under the thumb of the EU, who extended bailouts. Since the EU is run by technocrats, who are unelected managers of the economic freedom of the participants, countries feel restricted and desperate while being governed by outside interests.

Nigel Farage, who has been a vocal opponent of the EU, notes the negative byproduct of the collapsing countries and what happens to the citizens when hope is lost, including civil unrest,which we have already seen as austerity measures have been implemented. Nigel goes on another epic rant:

 

Recent elections in Greece had the Greek citizens looking for answers from any and every various group who claimed to have answers to their economic conditions and fears. One such group that made sizable parliamentary gains in the elections was The National Party of Socialists, otherwise known as the Nazi party. Yes, that Nazi party.
Embolden by their gains, the Nazi party promptly issued a number of chilling threats, elevating fears of a return to much darker times. The familiar road being traveled in Europe is very dangerous, as Glenn Beck reported on The Blaze and in the following report on GBTV. Take a listen:





While perhaps well intended, the EU is destined to fail. The EU has not the funding to backstop the PIIGS, and with Greece imploding, the dominoes are lining up for the EU failure. EU countries seek a return to Democracy, and as Farage has said in the past, hopefully the markets take out the Euro, as it looks like it might.

The demise must happen quickly, because the extremes on the right and left are rising in similar fashion to how they did in the 1930's. Markets often take on a persona, and in this case I hope the market takes out the EU before one of these extreme groups gains too much power.

While many seem to have forgotten, it would be wise to remember the last time an extreme party rose to power out of similar economic and social conditions.

Information Misrepresentation: Unemployment

Information presented to the Public by various outlets is being crafted to misrepresent reality in an effort to skew political thinking, gain economic advantage and nudge social justice further down the American psyche. This is the third in a series of blog posts detailing instances in this regard, as it is imperative the Public recognize the significant level of misrepresentation and how vast the manipulation is.

Information Misrepresentation: Unemployment

Last Friday, the job numbers were released and media outlets across the spectrum were thrilled to report the unemployment rate had fallen from 8.2% to 8.1%.  The decrease was presented as evidence that Americans are getting back to work and the measures to assist the economy by President Obama are bearing fruit.

Nothing could be further from the truth, and as usual, the media is complicit in a far reaching misrepresentation of the facts participatory in supporting the re-election of the President.

Weekly jobless claims continue to register at around 350,000, and this past month only 115,000 jobs were added.  Somehow, the unemployment rate decreased. The reason for this apparent anomaly is that unemployed individuals who no longer actively seek employment fall of the calculus.

If Obama was succeeding in getting America back to work, the unemployment rate would be increasing at this point because as folks found work as jobs became available, those sitting on the sidelines would jump back into the fray seeking employment.  Hence, our underemployed and unemployed citizens full time employment would rise as they re-enter the equation, increasing the unemployment rate upward.

Shadow Stats has the real unemployment rate at 22%.  Even so, as ever so accurately reported by the excellent blog Zero Hedge, simply put, this is sad.  The labor participation rate is the lowest it has been since 1981.  That is stunning.  Take a look at the following charts presented by Zero Hedge:

Labor Participation Rate




Persons Not In Labor Force


These charts, with data not seen since the Great Depression, show a catastrophe in the making.  Not only are individuals and their families hurting, but our productivity is taking a beating.

By not participating in the work force, workers are falling behind in levels of training, education and self fulfillment.  New technology is outpacing those able to perform supportive functions in support of these technological gains.  Over time, this will significantly impair our competitiveness.  Try not playing golf for a few years and then hitting the links.

One of the few patriots in the media to throw a penalty flag on all the gleeful reports of an improving unemployment rate is CNBC's Rick Santelli, who call them out his Santelli Exchange report:



We have an economic calamity going on in America due primarily to inept leadership from the Oval Office and the entire Obama economic team.  Time is short to turn chart a path to prosperity, and if we fail, we will become like Europe and our position as the economic superpower may be lost forever.

Free markets, with limited governmental interference, regulation and taxation, presents the playing field from which innovation, invention, work ethic and prosperity is born.  Lets get to work!

Sunday Night Song

It has been s strange week in the political arena this week, highlighted perhaps by the oddity of a composite woman. As it turns out, in his book "Dreams From My Father", Obama, or perhaps Bill Ayers, skirted the truth once again in code speak by morphing several girlfriends into a "composite woman".

Obama claimed to be so intellectually superior to these misguided women that they lost their own identity in his book, and in his mind.

The emergence of this story, coupled with the Obama campaign introducing us to Julia, who needs the assistance of our gifted Commander in Arrogance throughout her entire life and Obama crackpot crony and aspiring Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren claiming Native American status all the while insulting our Native American friends.

The collection of these stories this week has opened the floodgates for political fodder, with the best analysis presented by the sharp witty mind of Mark Steyn in a recent Investors Business Daily editorial.

Perhaps blinded by arrogance, one must marvel at the imagination Obama is blessed with.  From having to spend time with in his early years with white women who failed to quite understand the anger and need to get down with the struggle to thinking his presidency is a rousing success, it is astonishing.

Imagination run wild.

This brings us to a fantastic ballad about imagination and composite women of the mind; Atlanta Rhythm Section and their 1977 smash Imaginary Lover. Unfortunately, Obama's private pleasure of a socialist utopia are ruining our the lives our citizens at an alarming rate.  If only his intentions were imaginary. 

Anyhow, November is coming, with satisfaction guaranteed, God willing. In the meantime, a classic tune in Imaginary Lover should brighten the mood.

Enjoy!

Detrimental Arrogance

When you get all patriotic and join in hoping and praying for victory and the safety of our heroes fighting the fight for freedom across the globe, you must recognize that you and President Obama may not always be on the same side, unless of course, it is politically expedient for Obama.

Not withstanding foreign positions that make little sense, negotiating and partnering with folks who are out to kill us and the general disdain and lack of respect for our military, Obama cannot refrain from informing us that each and every military success was and is all about him.

Examples of great leadership include but are not limited to establishing preparation, discipline and execution in demonstrating for others how individual effort can be maximized in achieving in efficiency individual and team goals. Upon success, the leader typically defers the accolades for those in command or partnership. Whether speaking about the offensive line as a running back, the pit crew and sponsors as a NASCAR driver, or Generals leading a groups of fearless young men in battle, you never hear in the victory interviews or speeches about what a great effort the leader made. These leaders credit their team, delecting praise from themselves men and leading with dignity.

Then, we elected a President bathing in narcissism. Although this is frequently visible with Obama, his recent speech on the anniversary of the killing of Bin Laden and subsequent political ad reached new lows. Outside of never breathing the word victory, it is, and always has been, about him. Veterans groups are none to pleased, and rightfully so. Take a listen:



Certainly, as Commander in Chief, the final call on operations like taking out Osama Bin Laden rest with President, as Obama deserves due credit for making that call. While that is adequately noted, reports indicate when told of the opportunity, Obama said he had to sleep on the decision and upon implementation of the event, was summoned from the golf course to oversee from a chair the operation.

Never mind that Obama opposed the war as a Senator and was in opposition to most all of the techniques utilized in the gathering of intelligence to find and execute Bin Laden. Now, Obama, who thankfully is in real trouble in his re-election campaign, feels compelled to use this success as a feather in his cap as Commander in Chief. Obama thinks that Americans view him as the integral factor in getting Bin Laden, when we all know it was our brave heroes among the NAVY SEAL Team.

It has been Obama and his left wing cohorts who have made life much more difficult for those in combat, principally through heavily restricting rules of engagement. Contrary to common sense, the administration is not in it to win it.

The Obama administration has been operating outside the channels of our government for some time, increasingly running roughshod over a weak Congress and a complicit media. Through the CZARS, who are not accountable to anyone but the President, to governmental agencies roughing up our citizens through regulatory action, it is clear the objective of this government it to move into a dictatorship operating system.

With the regime aspiring to have the sovereignty of America lost to global rule under a United Nations blanket, (See Agenda 21), one could conclude Obama has his sights set on more than the US Presidency. Stop laughing.

While you think Obama is a weak leader who speaks strongly and carries a small stick, he has a strong backing of those who aim for anarchy, Marxism and/or Socialism. With another term, America will likely become a stronger version of Venezuela with BHO in charge, which will place our military heroes in increasing danger. 

After all, it is not about us, but about him. All about him.
